AnimeNEXT Edition of Anti-Social Geniuses Reference Resource Mondays

By , Filed in: 2011 Animenext

So Anti-Social Geniuses Reference Resource Mondays returns! But as you can probably tell, this is a special edition of Reference Resources! Sure, this is probably going to be the last couple of notes on Animenext, even though more stories might emerge later (though we still have the press conference of Vic Mignogna to post), but we’ve made our posts about the brunt of AnimeNEXT: others have as well, and I’ve looked far and wide for them! Now, back to my hibernation…

AnimeNEXT – Day Two and Three

By , Filed in: 2011 Animenext

 2011 AnimeNEXT Kekkashi

Day Two started off late. I was rooming with Fire-Nation cosplayers and so I was there waiting for them to get ready, I was going to get breakfast but they took too long and off I went to my panel. I heard from Justin that he was waiting for the press schedule and I decided to wait with him for a few minutes. A few minutes turned into half an hour and I missed my panel. I really wanted to go to Making your own anime at home! It was a two parter too! ^^()

AnimeNEXT 2011- Day One

2011 AnimeNEXT Street Fighter

Haha! I arrived early and before Justin! That’s always a good start :)

I set up a very long list of panels I wanted to go to that weekend and though the press schedule didn’t work out too well for me I found more than enough things to do at AnimeNEXT. I spent most of my time in panels and didn’t go to any of the main events since I just found the fun in the panels! Still I visited the artist’s alley and dealer’s room on the first day for a little while and spent most of my sunday there as well.

Anime Next Report (The Weekend Edition, Part II)

By , Filed in: 2011 Animenext

Now continuing where I left off yesterday, more of what happened to me (All good, never bad) during Saturday and Sunday! Of course, Saturday just happened to feel a lot longer than both Friday and Sunday, while Sunday…was just there. Or something like that. Oh by the way, I don’t think I pointed it out yesterday, but it seemed there was a lot more people on Saturday than Friday.

Anime Next Report (The Weekend Edition, Part I)

"NOT AGAIN!"

Seriously? Didn’t I see this same sign at Castle Point? Jersey people and their originality! Ok, ok, it could have been a number of people who could have done it, but well, it is a possibility. Anyways, no Reference Resource Monday today. There’s still a bunch to talk about AnimeNEXT! Aside from all the fun and the meeting up and such, there were some small news announced at the Con that I’ll point out:

  1. On Friday, Vertical Inc announced a bunch of titles coming out this year and next. They were definitely pushing two titles: No Longer Human by Usamaru Furuya, with its first volume reaching stores September 27th (they had small posters of it) and Princess Knight by Osamu Tezuka October 4 (The main character, Sapphire, was on the cover of their information packet). Two titles that interested me, thus warranting some attention, were GTO: Shonan 14 Days, and Velveteen & Mandala. Shonan 14 Days is coming out in January while Velveteen & Mandala is coming out August 30th.
  2. Also on Friday, Satoru Nakamura, an animator at Production I.G, had notified those at the Production I.G panel that there is more of the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex coming. He could not reveal any more than that, but it sounds like something that might be officially announced either at the end of this year or the start of next year. Either way, it seems like the new season won’t be on TV screens until 2012.
Now, onto my adventure during the three days. I say this while noting I conveniently left any sort of paper to write on back home, meaning I had to cheat using my cell and my camera. But in some ways, it worked; others, probably not so much. I’ll get to all of Friday and half of Saturday today, and finish Sat and Sun tomorrow. Now, onto my journey!

Helping Japan: One Earring Pair At A Time!

By , Filed in: 2011 Animenext

When I was a CPAC I asked the venders to tell me about their initiatives to help raise money for Japan, there were a few who where raising money to send over to Japan, but unfortunately only one ever got back to me!

I decided to wait till today to post this because you’ll be able to find Hikari wo Sagasu at AnimeNEXT this weekend, and I wanted to give you the opportunity to meet her.

Anti-Social Geniuses Reference Resource Mondays

Oh man…being a college student is a lot of work I hear. You never know what kind of papers that’s due, what club stuff that needs to get done, and a host of other things…

Yep, I am so ready for college to end so I can rest for a good week. Also, that’ll explain the lack of posts for most of May. I say most because I’ll be done around mid-May. From there, I’ll figure out how to get to Somerset New Jersey in June…

Ok this is really, really bad. And really, really good at the same time. Good news is me and Leslie will be going to AnimeNext–bad news is we’ll probably be there for Friday and Sat. Stupid hotel prices. Anyways, looks like we’ll be there covering it, so if you see two people that look kinda tough with press badges, that’s probably us. Oh, and if they look anti-social then you’ll know it’s us.

Anyways, onwards to the news around the interwebz:
